Reading Books.
We operate a colour banded reading book system. Whilst no one scheme is used in its entirety, books from the following reading schemes have been banded and incorporated into our reading book system: Oxford Reading Tree, Fireflies, Rigby Rockets.
The colour bands progress as follows:
Lilac (used in Reception). These books have no words and are use as pre-readers.
Pink - working towards level 1
Red - Working towards level 1
Yellow - Level 1c
Blue - Level 1c/1b
Green - Level 1b
Orange - Level 1a
Turquoise - Level 1a/2c
Purple - Level 2c
Gold - Level 2b
White - Level 2a
Lime - Level 3c
The banding system does progress beyond this point with grey, burgundy and navy books, however it is our intention to move children off the banding
